MSI N770 Lightning GTX 770 2GB
The MSI N770 Lightning is a GeForce GTX 770 graphics card built for 1080p gaming. It connects through a PCI Express 3.0 16X slot and draws power from two 8-pin connectors. The card targets enthusiasts who want strong frame rates in older titles without moving to a newer architecture.
2GB GDDR5 256-bit memory capacity
The 2GB GDDR5 frame buffer runs across a 256-bit bus at 7010MHz effective frequency. This combination handles 1080p textures and moderate anti-aliasing comfortably. At 2560×1600 resolution the memory limit becomes a bottleneck, forcing texture quality reductions in modern games.
Twin 8-pin power and thermals
Dual 8-pin power inputs feed the GPU under load, allowing the custom cooler to manage heat output. In normal gaming use the card maintains stable clocks while fan noise stays at a noticeable but acceptable level. Power draw scales with the 770 chipset design rather than exceeding it.

Questions about this item
Will the GTX 770 run on my older motherboard that only has a PCI Express 2.0 slot?
The card uses a PCI Express 3.0 16X interface which is backward compatible with 2.0 slots, though bandwidth will be limited to the older standard.
How can I confirm the GDDR5 memory is running at the rated 7010MHz after installation?
Use GPU-Z or MSI Afterburner to read the memory clock; it should report 7010MHz on the GDDR5 modules under load.
The listing says no original packaging and no accessories — does that mean I must source the 8pin+8pin power cables separately?
Yes, the card requires two 8-pin PCIe power connectors; if your power supply lacks them you will need to buy adapter cables or a new PSU.
